he is thrilled with how the line-up is shaping up, particularly as there are more announcements still to come.

“As it stands, adding quality acts such as of Damien Dempsey, Talos, Ciaran Lavery, Kila and everyone else we have announced to the first part of the line-up which includes the likes of Basement Jaxx and Hothouse Flowers, this is easily one of the strongest line-ups we have ever been able to showcase at Stendhal,” he said.

“This year’s line-up is a fantastic mix of the familiar and the new, which as usual covers a multitude of genres and we are confident that it will make this year’s

Stendhal the biggest and best one to date. That said, we have really only gotten started on the programming announcements. We will be announcing our Thursday Night Headline act soon along with the final musical acts, we still have our comedy headline acts to announce, our family programme, along with a plethora of non-music programming which is always a massive part of the experience. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the farm in August to see all these amazing artists take to the stage and I’d like to thank them all for being a part.”
